If It All Fails, Does the Country Turn Right or Left?
We know the lunatic fringe of the GOP is praying for an Obama failure (which means praying for his economic measures to crash the economy)because they "assume" that means the people will run to the Republicans. I totally disagree.
A collapsed economy will in no way drive the people to scream for more tax cuts for the rich and other old Repuke policies so that the rich can trickle down on us and save the day. They will be in too much of a state of utter, complete and total panic and terror and demand instant help---i.e., they will want something far, far more to the "left" than the Obama administration. (Think more like Dennis K.!!!) They will want the government to take over about everything that moves and breathes and FIX IT and FIX IT NOW!! In other words, they will run to the government full throttle just like the so-called repuke capitialistic banks ran for the government to HELP!
Actually, crazy as it seems, their best bet is for this national nightmare to get fixed and be out of the way in 2012. Then they can go back to selling the sheep the idea that the most important thing on the planet is "stopping gay marriage", "stopping abortion", "making Christianity the national religion"...you get the picture. They better watch out what they are wishing for (ya' hear me Rush??)

1. Just remember Jimmy Carter eom

How can they think of failure at the very moment of Obama's great triumph? :rotf:

They protest too much.

Actually, what the actively demented primitive doesn't understand is, that if the economy collapses, the people will be too busy just trying to survive from day to day to demand anything of their government. Most of the survivors will have their own guns. Most liberals and lefties don't have their own guns. Therefore, most lefties and liberals won't survive or, if they do, they will be the slaves of the gun owners.
Pretty much assures that the Gutter Gato won't be surviving, because it doesn't want to work for anything.

It goes right in a heartbeat and without a moments hesitation.
-
When the tax increases start happening to the lower middle classes because of the overspending it's going to take a hard right.
-
Unless the GOP pulls one of its stupider no-balls moments and tries to be all modest and bi-partisan, they go right. Conservatives need to make the point that although things wrere getting a little rocky at the end of W's Presidency, the market started tanking when Obama won because they had no confidence in him, and due in no small part to him spending $50 million to trash the economy for a year beforehand, then he proceeded to live down to their worst expectations and then exceed them.

let us not forget that in the week ending 02 May 2006 (as the annointed one became the presumptive dim nominee for president) the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 13,058.20 (http://www.nyse.tv/dow-jones-industrial-average-history-djia.htm)....
since then the stock market has tanked ... with the average 7,062.93 with the week ending February 27, 2009 the marked has lost 5,995.27 points or 46% of it's total value ... (my personal 401K is now my 201K :thatsright: )
Coincidence ??? I think not ... The dow is tanking just like the messiah's approval rating ...
Can you say "time for a change" :banghead:

DUmmies never stop to think, do they. If it all crashes, then they'll be no taxes to collect. With no taxes, the government doesn't have money to pay for social programs.... and society becomes....ultra conservative.
I'll survive, always have. DUmmies, not so much....... :rotf:

Failure will be a slow, circling the drain kind of process, with Jugears in charge for a protracted time and thus on the blame line for it. Blaming the previous Administration, which the DNC spent a fortune undermining (And we must never miss a chance to make that point about the effect of Democrat 'Investment' during the campaign), is less and less salable every day that goes by.
It may be stupid, naive, and emotional of the public, but they expect the guy in charge to BE in charge, and not try to throw blame over his shoulder when things go from bad to much worse on his watch. Of course stupidity, naievete, and feelings are what got Obama elected, but now he gets to eat the downside of it all.

That would be fantastic with me!

The DUmmies should be worried, the winds of change are already starting. I'm seeing little digs, here and there, on NBC, CNBC, etc............
Not everyone is drinking the Koolaid anymore.

What happens if we have another terror attack? Obama is clearly very soft on terrorism, it's not even on his radar. If and when that happens, Zero and the Democrats are toast.

Given this scenerio, shouldn't the Dems/libs be hoping that the R's/conservatives are correct and Hussein fails? Because according to the inactive democracy primitive, that would have everyone turning to the left, which is exactly what they want.
If you see any of them complain about us wanting Hussein to fail, tell them they should be happy, because when he does fail the country will go left. :mental:
Funny how they paint the outcome of either his success or failure in such a way that they always come out on top. Also funny how they're so concerned about Republicans/conservatives being able to stay in the game and how they cointinually offer suggestions to "help" us. :whatever:

Damn you're good, sir.

I'm telling ya--take the 10 largest cities in America, blow up every road in/out of them, and watch what happens.
Then start over again.

It's an idea with a lot of appeal.

Unfortunately (for me), Albany NY would be waaaay down the list. :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:

Donner Party is now my standard answer to the question 'How bad can get it get?"
Its right next to calling an idiot "shortbus"
